Referencing media library images in css
Following is the link from the source…

<link href="/cms/CMSPages/GetResource.ashx?stylesheetname=MainCss" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>

So, does GetResource.ashx pushes the MainCss as /cms/MainCss to the browser?


media library link on local dev is like

/MySite/MySite/media…

And on prod site it is

/cms/MySite/media…


From inside the above referenced styles sheet, how can I get to an image in the media library? I don’t want to put the image under App_Themes.


Following is not working for me:
../MySite/media…

RE:Referencing media library images in css
Look on your physical disk and you should find the physical file location. For instance if you have a media library named Testing with 2 directories in it (one and two) you should be able to access the files by going to /SiteName/Testing/one/image.jpg.

There are some settings in Site Manager that also specify if the media library utilizes a special directory or not. Your best bet would be to navigate to the file system on your computer to find it.

This worked for me after upgrading to 7.0.21. Support suggested this upgrade as the issue was identified as bug in 7.0.
